On re-reading this, it could be taken either way round; what I was trying to say was that I didn't use it at all. Yes, there are lots of people who genuinely need a PDA or smartphone, but it was only Palm's marketing that convinced me that I was one of them.

As another demonstration, not that any is needed, of the power of marketing: I bought some tinned tuna in the supermarket today, for the first time in ages, because I really fancied a tuna sandwich. Only later did it occur to me that I'd recently been re-reading Calvin and Hobbes.
